Its sounding more and more like Kerry had no idea what he was "volunteering for". And once he figured that out he wanted out ASAP.

Why else would he volunteer and then be in such a rush to leave after only 4 months?

P.S. With all the action they were apparently involved in (if we are to believe Kerry's war stories) How many men did the swift boats lose during Kerry's 4 month stint? I'm sure there were Marine units who suffered much greater casulties.

While I'm sure Kerry's assignment wasn't "easy", I'm pretty certain that it wasn't the toughest assignment in Vietnam...

But with all the focus on Kerry's warrior exploits, you'd think he saw as much action as Audie Murphy...Don't you think Kerry's record is just a little over-hyped?
